A
House Church Weekend in Spokane Washington
with Wolfgang Simson
April 22-24, 2005
____________________________________________
The Return of the House
Churches…
“Millions of Christians around the
world are becoming aware of an imminent
reformation of global proportions within
the Church. God is changing this revered
institution and is making a new collective
awareness of an age-old revelation, a
corporate spiritual echo that reflects
God’s desire for the Church. In this
book, Wolfgang Simson brings to light
what God is saying to the Christians everywhere.
Researched across the globe, he presents
the case for the new reformation of the
Church’s existence. It is time to
bring the Church to the people…”
-from the book cover of Houses that Change
the World.
Dear Friends,
When I first heard Wolfgang Simson speak,
I judged that his thinking would change
the world more than Martin Luther. To
catch the flavor of what I heard, check
out Wolfgang’s Fifteen Theses at

Friday Strategy Consultation
with Wolfgang Simson, for current house
church leaders and others that God might
be calling to this movement:
FRIDAY
10:30 am-3:30 pm.
At the Union Gospel Mission Chapel
1224 East Trent, Spokane, WA just north
of I-90 and east of Hamilton
A day of interactive discussion and brainstorming
in two areas:
1. The Visionary. What is God's
heart for fulfilling the Great Commission
in the Inland Northwest? What would it
take for there to be "a church within
walking distance" of everyone in
the Spokane area? Church Planting Movements
(rapid multiplication of churches into
every people group and neighborhood) are
springing up in many places in the world.
Could that happen here?
2. The Practical. In the house
church, what do you do with the children?
How do you handle money? (Should leaders
be paid? What about benevolence? Who decides?)
How should house churches network together?
What about the five fold ministries in
Ephesians 4? Can house churches and traditional
churches work together?
REQUIREMENT:
Those coming to the Strategy
Consultation must have perused Houses
that Change the World before you come
(for an informed discussion, please).
May be ordered through the web link noted
on http://www.faithact.org/
(approximately $8.49 + S&H. Order
online NOW or call your local Christian
Book store for availability).
COST: “Starter Seed” donation
for the Consultation, $15/person or $25/couple
A love offering will be taken to bless
Wolf and Mercy.
